If you have the game on GOG, I would suggest backing this up before September 10, 2024
Yet another reason that I’ll be right really needs to be revamped hardcore. You should not be able to retroactively revoke a copyright and the entire idea of yeah I license you to be able to use this for x amount of years is ridiculous to me either you can use the Media or you can’t.
Sucks and I definitely remember (15-ish years ago?) thinking that was such a perfect fit for one of my all time favorite vibes games (with okay-good gameplay). But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.
Which is the best case scenario when it isn’t a music group that genuinely loves games (shout out to Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard). As opposed to whatever nonsense happens with tv shows like Scrubs.
Too bad, it was such a good fit.

That copyright can be inherited is one of the atrocious fuckups we let happen.
